Method to Detect Granary Storage Weight Based on the Janssen Model

Abstract

Abstract:: This study proposes a new model of granary storage weight detection based on the Janssen model to satisfy the strategic requirements of granary storage quantity detection in China. The model theoretically elucidates the relationship between granary storage weight and bottom/side pressure. A new layout of pressure sensors along the inner and outer rings is also proposed to obtain the pressure value. The experimental results indicate that the detection error of the proposed model is significantly lower than 1% with respect to the low-cost detection system, and this effectively satisfies the actual requirement for real-time monitoring of granary storage quantity.Supported by Natural Science Project of Henan Provincial Science and Technology Department (172106000013); State Key Laboratory of Grain Information Processing and Control, Ministry of Education (KFJJ-2016-102); Grain Information Processing Technology of University Science and Technology Innovation Team in Henan Province (16IRTSTHN026) Keywords:: Granary storage quantity detection, Janssen model, Pressure sensor, Detection model, Detection accuracy
